Most of this is not a new posting -- just the material at the top.<p>She is using dangerous language -- talking about children, and about counterfeit goods which harm lives.<p>She makes it seem as if one must be for SOPA if they want to be against harming children or counterfeit goods. But that's not a logical conclusion. You can be for helping children and against SOPA. In fact, I'd imagine that would describe just about everyone who opposes SOPA.<p>SOPA is far reaching. SOPA is terrible and needs to be stopped. I'm all for something that stops the harm of children and the spread of counterfeit goods, but that's not what the SOPA debate is actually about. So let's focus on SOPA and not get misdirected by Ms. Jones.
Hard to even count the ways in which this statement is wrong.<p>Also, GoDaddy needs to hire an editor who can spell "complementary".<p>Maybe their editors are all too busy staring blankly at breasts, like in their ads.
I love it when entities take a controversial position and, despite having the option to actually hear directly from the people its affecting, go ahead and just lock down the comment section.

OMG won't you think of the children?!

GoDaddy's position doesn't strike me as malicious, but rather hopelessly naive. "We can't imagine the powers in this bill being abused" seems to be their position.
> Go Daddy is the world’s largest domain name registrar with more than 50 million domain names under management.<p>Every time when i read some company's "we are f.ing big you s.ckers" shit, i hate them a lot... Yes you are a big company because of us, the individuals. If you forget it, you have to lose.
GoDaddy supports the bill because they love taking a contrary positions on an given issue. They see most of the industry taking X position on SOPA and so they take Y position. Corporate wise, they just seem to get off on it.
Let's say are rid of foreign porn. Are our Children safe now?! What about American porn sites? *Oh right, we are gonna make another bill fixing that! I swear US is more and more like China these days.
There was way too much self promotion ("look how I work to stop bad pharmaceutical resellers and protect children in some vague manner) and not enough getting-to-the-point.
